Unsupervised Learning from Max Entropy to Deep Generative Networks Stéphane Mallat (Collège de France, France): Abstract: We shall review deep Generative networks such as GAN and Variational Encoders, which can synthesize realizations of non-stationary processes or highly complex processes such as speech or music. We show that they can be considerably simplified by defining the estimation as an inverse problem. This will build a bridge with maximum entropy estimation. Applications will be shown on images, speech and music generation. |

Convex Programming for Non-Convex Problems Justin Romberg (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) Abstract: The proposed convex program is formulated in the natural space of the problem, and avoids the introduction of auxiliary variables, making it computationally favorable. Working in the native space also provides us with the flexibility to incorporate structural priors (e.g., sparsity) on the solution. For our analysis, we model the equations as being drawn from a fixed set according to a probability law. Our main results provide guarantees on the accuracy of the estimator in terms of the number of equations we are solving, the amount of noise present, a measure of statistical complexity of the random equations, and the geometry of the regularizer at the true solution. We also provide recipes for constructing the anchor vector (that determines the linear functional to maximize) directly from the observed data. We will discuss applications of this technique to nonlinear problems including phase retrieval, blind deconvolution, and inverting the action of a neural network. This is joint work with Sohail Bahmani. |

We welcome you to Freiburg with a reception in the Emperors’ Hall of the workshop venue. With its stucco ceiling, stained glass windows, and historical paintings of German Emperors, this Hall is a dignified place to commence our workshop. You will have an opportunity to sample some local cuisine, beer, and wine.
Directly after the welcome reception, we offer you a choice of either a historical city tour or a live performance with actors exploring the city.
On the classical tour, we will stroll through the old part of town and show you the main streets and squares in Freiburg, its little streams („Bächle“) and alleyways with the colorful mosaics made of Rhine pebbles, the Cathedral Square (Münsterplatz) with its merchant town houses and secular buildings, telling you all about Freiburg´s rich history. A tour of the Gothic cathedral is the highlight of the tour.
Alternatively, you can explore the city with one of three live performances with actors: The Witch of Freiburg, The Harlot, or Berthold Schwarz – The Inventor of Blackpowder. More details about the live performances, along with profiles of the actors can be found at the Freiburg Living History website.
The Schlossbergrestaurant (Castle Restaurant) Dattler is arguably one of Freiburg’s finest restaurants, serving local food from the Baden region. It is located on the hills of the Schlossberg (Castle Hill) and offers a spectacular view of Freiburg’s old town and Cathedral. We will begin our evening with an aperitif on the outside patio overlooking Freiburg and then enjoy some local food and wine. Visit the Schlossbergrestaurant Dattler website for the history of this beautiful 136 year-old restaurant (only available in German).
The restaurant can be reached on foot in 15-20 minutes from the workshop venue on a pleasant walk through the old town and a brief stroll up the Schlossberg on a paved footpath (elevation gain: 75 meters/250 feet). If you prefer not to hike up the hill, you can take the Schlossberg-Bahn, a funicular railway, which eliminates the hill climb. The top station is right next to the restaurant. Please inform our staff at the registration if you would like to take advantage of that option.
